I absolutely LOVED seeing Brody's face see the Magic Kingdom for the first time and Mickey stuff everywhere. Disney truly is a magical place. We knew Brody would love the MK because the rides were right up his alley and thankfully Trevor could ride most everything as well. Of course our first place was FantasyLand and what ride does he see first - the Carousel - yes he LOVES this ride thanks to Papa for taking him on the one at the zoo for the first time. It was then Dumbo before the line got too long, which he loved. He wasn't so sure about Snow White and Peter Pan since it was dark inside.
He had a blast in Winnie the Pooh's play area and then was able to take a picture with Winnie, Eeyore & Tiger. He did great this time - no parents in the picture. He actually was giving them high five. Thankfully we have 2 boys so no standing in line to see the princesses.
Chillin'
no mama on teacups or "coffee cups" as Brody calls them.
On the race cars - what a driver.
Jason and I rode Pirates to see if Brody would like it - but that was a definite NO!! So then my parents took their turn. Around 1:30 or so Brody fell asleep so it was time for Jason and I to ride Thunder Mountain - (Space Mtn was closed - I was very bummed) - there was NO line so we rode it twice. My parents took it easy on a bench in Frontier Land with the 2 sleeping kids. The weather was great although it didn't feel like Christmas since we were in shorts.

Enjoying the parade on Daddy's shoulders.Mickey's Christmas party started around 7PM and we continued to ride. One of Brody's favorite rides was the race cars. He rode with Jason and actually drove the car - he loved it. We put Brody on his first roller coaster - Goofy's in Mickey's Birthday Land. He wasn't so sure about it and of course didn't really want to go but we just picked him up and went. He didn't cry but said he didn't like it when it was over. We went to see Mickey and Minnie in their playhouse and it was a great set up. They only took a couple of people back at a time to have their picture taken so you were in a room by yourself with them. Brody loved it. Check out Mickey's height or lack of. I think he may need to find a new character to be or at least find a shorter Minnie.

During the Christmas party they have dances going on so we took Brody to see if he would show off his moves and he did!! Goofy even showed up to dance with him. He thought it was the best. It was now about 10:00 so Brody was a little giddy himself. We made our way to Main Street to find a spot for the 10:30 parade and it was CROWDED, but thankfully Brody was able to get up front to see. This was truly a magical place and to see Brody's face as he watched all of the characters and wave to them made me feel so blessed to be a parent!! I found myself beaming from ear to ear and I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. It even snowed (soap bubbles) but it was great.
Showing off his moves to the girls.
Waving to everyone in the parade.
After the parade we headed back to Fantasy Land and let Brody ride a few more rides. While they were riding Dumbo the fireworks went off and of course Brody doesn't care too much for them so what "great" timing to have him in the air while they were going off. These fireworks were everywhere. It was one of the best shows I've seen. Trevor by this time was REALLY ready for his bed so NiNi and Papa headed back to the hotel while we waited for the last show at the castle. Brody fell asleep right before the show but we had to wake him up so he wouldn't miss it.

Finally back at the hotel well after midnight. We were TIRED people, but up and ready to do it all for Day
